One commenter, Robbin, had a great idea to try this one again and add in some variety. I liked this idea and was in need of a cookie, sooooooooooooo…………. I decided to switch up the recipe some.

Cinnamon chips were added for a completely decadent and totally unnecessary sugar boost but are SO DAMN GOOD. (tastes like pure cinnamony pumpkin pie in your mouth! I highly recommend NOT trying them.)

They are not your average cookie BUT they have an interesting texture with a delightful taste. If this is worth anything (and it should be) my dad loved them. My father, the man who readily consumes sugar like he’s Santa and “doesn’t like green things or healthy food” for that matter. If my dad likes them, you will too. 😉

In another larger bowl, add in the remaining ingredients, except chocolate chips and raisins. Mix well, making sure to mash banana and avocado well with a fork. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing well to get rid of any lumps of flour.

Fold in chocolate chips and golden raisins.

Drop about 2 tablespoons of dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Continue this process until you’ve filled the baking sheet, giving about 1 inch space between each cookie.

I love these cookies with all my heart! My spouse, however, for whom I am experimenting to find the perfect healthy baked good alternatives, despises bananas. Will it work without them? Do you know of another fruit option that will add the sugars and moisture?
